Description: A silhouette of my Cthulhu design on top of page 3 of "Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos" by H. P. Lovecraft.

A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings."
Description: Rear Admiral Grace Hopper superimposed over a bit of classic COBOL code. Grace Hopper is an authentic computer science Rock Star. In the 1940s, Hopper found the first computer bug (which was an actual bug - a moth that got caught in a circuit relay). In the 1950s, she invented compiled programming languages, one of which was COBOL, and is still used today. She was on '60 Minutes' and David Letterman. Grace Hopper was one of the pioneers and leading architects of the modern computing era. Her energy and innovations have shaped the future of programming and inspired a generation to think critically about the cost of their "nanoseconds". Owing to the breadth of her accomplishments and her naval rank, the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Hopper (DDG-70)

With Grace Hopper on your shirt or laptop, you will be imbued with her indomitable spirit and never write a bad line of code again.

Description: “But you were always a good man of business, Jacob,' faltered Scrooge, who now began to apply this to himself. Business!' cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The deals of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!” ― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
